and a very impressive one it is. Almost all the players play in the English Premier League with a few in the League Championship (the old First Division).

Ireland is clearly better, true. On any given day there's no reason in the world why they can't beat us, but when it's all coming down to one match everything is possible. Our results so far have been good, we are still undefeated and if we are to make something out of this campgain this is the game we need to win, our home matches will decide if we can do it or not. So let's stay optimistic. I have to say that the atmosphere around the game is very special, the stadium is expected to be full, tickets running out, people talk about the game everywhere...usually we end up on the wrong side in this kind of events but we're allowed to hope, thinking we're gonna get eaten alive won't help us. Nobody expected Greece to get past the first round in the last Euro, and look what happened...

Don't forget Latvia....

I hope Grant is smart...and will not risk any chance or make any chances in that matter.

Just built a wall around the Net and make it impossible for the Lepricons' to score..

Infact, lts ask ARIK to build us a wall..

Agree with Raanan, we must be optimistic and be confindent we could beat the Irish. They are clearly better than us, but they are coming to Israel with a cautious speech respecting our record so far. The fans are making a great atmosphere about this match and the players are getting involved with it. This is the most important game for the NT since the match against Austria.

Now France have named their team too:

Who knows, maybe he will, even though O'Shea has a spot already I believe. Do you have a prediction of Ireland's starting line up against Israel?

There's a nice article in Yedioth from Thursday, Zeltzer watched the Irish team in action vs Portugal and made a good report on their lineup, weaknesses, key players etc.

Here's lineup and the comments he made more or less if you are interested.

GK: Givan, Very stable, directs his defense well. Good saves from set pieces, strong shot, takes all the shots.

LB: O'Shea, slow, sometimes makes a slow return to defense, goes forward a lot, fantastic headers.

CB 1: O'Brien, good in the air, bad long shots

CB 2: Cunningham, tough, fouls a lot, very tight manmarking.

RB: Carr, likes to go forward and cross, very tough, not brilliant. Bad left foot.

DMC 1: Roy Keane, tough, responsible, good leader. Likes to play mostly around his position, uses double-pass to break through the central defense.

DMC 2: Kilbane. Tall, fantastic headers, strong shots.

AMC 1: Duff, fast, smart, the National team's barometer. Uses both feet.

AMC 2: Reid, technical, fast, good shot and passing skills. takes all the free kicks.

Forward 1: Morrison, good headers, uses his body to keep the ball, not particularly fast.

Forward 2: Robbie Keane, fast, good at pressing, always looking for goal.

Intresting scouting, Zeltzer did a good job and there is also the secret part he does not reveal. This is probably just one piece of his scouting and Grant seems to be very attentive to this, since he is already giving clues he will be changing some players in the starting line up, even though we should keep the formation that it has been used.

Yeah, although most of the lineup is pretty much known from what I read. Awat in goal, Afek in rightback, Ben Haim, Benado, Gershon/Strul/Saban will be the 3 central defenders and Keisi the leftback. The defensive mids will be Tal and Badir, Katan and Benayoun as attacking midfielders and Balili/Golan upfront.

You need to register and once you did you could read the forums. There various threads that present different channels, and that's where they'll be showing the game.

If you or anyone else needs help with registration for that site you can PM me and I'll help.
